Guests: Susanna Saari, Senior Lecturer, Head of Innopeda Training Center and Isa Aarnila, student of Business Administration, Turku UAS
Host: Milla Järvipetäjä, Research Group Leader, Senior Lecturer, Project Manager, Turku UAS

“Education should provide our students with knowledge, skills and competences as well as develop attitudes and values, which help them to act in the changing world of work and society, bringing them towards a sustainable future,” writes Liisa Kairisto-Mertanen and Taru Konst in their latest book called Redesigning Education – Visions and Practices (2020).

In this Innopeda podcast episode Milla Järvipetäjä and her guests discuss sustainable development and studies.

Those currently studying in higher education are the ones who are expected to yield solutions to the problems created by the climate crisis.

Head of Innopeda Training Center and Senior Lecturer Susanna Saari tells how to address the three core elements – social inclusion, environmental questions and economic growth – in sustainable development.

Business Administration student Isa Aarnila shares her experiences as a student. Both her thesis and practical training in Hotel Kakola focus on developing sustainability.

– At the end of day is about the attitude and the mindset that is given to us during our education that we then take on as we graduate.
